When Ford introduced the Galaxie nameplate in 1960, the reasoning behind the new name was obvious. At the time, bigger was better, and short of GM introducing a car named the Universe, what could convey a greater sense of size than Galaxie?

HOPPING UP A FIRST- GENERATION 265 V-8

If you have been around Chevys for 40 or 50 years, think of this story as a sort of “reunion.” For oh-so-many of us, that’s just what it is, a good ol’ reunion with Chevy’s very first small-block V-8 engine. Tens of thousands of our readers had one, and many still do.

Fraternal twins, then?

R-CODE Refined

Neal Hensl is a true muscle car enthusiast. Over the years he’s owned plenty of them, including Novas, Chevelles, Corvettes and a Fairlane. Not long ago, he picked up a ’68 Mustang fastback, and it wasn’t just any fastback—it was a rare R-code.
